The Large or the Small Cow.

Whether the large or small COW is the
most profitable on small farms is a dis
puted question. For our part we like a
good COW, whether she is large or small.
and are better suited by quality than size.
The large animal consumes more and
should yield an increase of milk and but
ter to compensate for the extra feed We
saw, not long since, statement in which
the extra cost and possible profit and loss
were very nicely calculated, and the bal
ance seemed to be in favor of the smaller
COW. We do not believe there is much
difference in profit yielded, by an indiyid-
ual COW of either class, if they are good
specimens of their kind. We believe good
keep makes the profit in all cases, be the
breed what it may. 1t requires certain
amount of feed to sustain life and keep up
animal waste; whatever additional proper
nutritious food is supplied viii, in a good
COW, go into profit in milk and butter.
The advocates of the large COW urge that
there is an increased value in such stock
when it comes to the butcher but this is
not Of much consequence, for such beef
does not have high market value. Se-
lect whatever kind we may for the dairy.
if We consult our profit we must look for
the one that makes the best return for her
keep; all other considerations Of size and
weight are only of minor Importance. The
best cow at the milk-pail will be the bes,
breed for the owner.-FdTna ana Garden.

An old-Time Maine Politician.

John Holmes, one of Names first Sena-
tors In Congress, was more of a wit than a
lawyer, more of politician than states
man, and was ready in debate rather than
strong in argument. He sought for per-
sonal aggrandizement, and was eminently
successful. He handled the weapons of
wit and sarcasm with readiness and effect.
In debate in Congress on notification
some one sneeringly asked: "What has
become of the old firm of James Madison,
Felix Grundy, John Holmes, and the
devil?" "Mr. Speaker" said he, 81 will
dead, the second has gone into retirement,
and the last has gone over to the nullifers,
and Is at work among the gentleman's con-
stituents, and | pronounce the firm legally
dissolved" In a family quarrel about
piece of land some one said, pointing
to a field: "This is the devils hop
yard" "If So" replied Mr. Holmes,
I" the devil must be dead, for his sons are
quarreling over the inheritance" "Then
you expect to prevail" ;" said his opponent,
I" for your client is the eldest" at is not
certain" said he. "My client is the eld-
est, but yours is the most deserv-
ing" Having listened to 4 sermon
against slavery from the text, Re
member those in bonds as bound with
them," he remarked: "This text has no
allusion to slavery" "But," replied his
friend, you must admit that the argu-
ment is just as good, though the text does
not refer to the subject" at reminds
me-" said Holmes, "of the clergyman who
preached from the text, And David took
from the brook three smooth stones
Now, my hearers | intend to prove and
explain by these three stones the doctrine
of the Trinity 1t was five smooth stones,
said the deacon very respectfully. Well,
my hearers, made a small mistake in the
fact, but it makes no difference in the
argument" Although he had been dur
ing his political life a convivial compan-
ion, fond of the social glass, in later years
he was an efficient advocate of total absti-
nence-RichmoHd Me- Bee.

WAR RECORDS.
A Reckless Order to Destroy Valuable
Records of the War

WASHINGTON, December 26th.-There is
some comment in army and political circles
over recent order calling upon Chiefs of
Bureaus i'll the War Department to recon-
mend the character and quantity of records
OF that department which can be destroyed
1t is proposed among other things to de-
stroy considerable portion of the records
of the Freedmans Bureau, which cover the
important epoch after the war known as
the reconstruction period. 1t is also in
tended to destroy certain portions of the
manuscripts from which the war records
already published have been presented.
There IS apparently no use for the order
from any conceivable standpoint, and there
certainly can be none for the destruction
OF the important papers above mentioned.
The small importance attached to the
proceeding is farther shown by the fact
that the responsibility of selecting what
shall be destroyed is intructed to al
ordinary clerk.
There is likely 10 be an awful row about
it if an attempt be made to carry tie oEdef

THE FUEL CRISIS.
Latest Speculations Concerning Affairs in
the Coal Region

iCopyrig, 1887, by the California associated Press.
READING, December 26th-The greatest
danger is apprehended on account of the
impending coal famine. If the Reading
Railroad miners should go out land they
belong to the Order of Knghts), every CITY
and town along the entire line will be with
out fuel. Inquiry among the leading in
dustrial establishments here and elsewhere
develops the fact that none have over a
week S supply of coal on hand.
Leading men in the iron trade in this
city and elsewhere look for an early closing
down of all the principal furnaces and iron
mills in Schuylkill valley, which will
throw thousands out of employment
As the matter stands tonight, the officials
say that early tomorrow morning they are
determined to move all the coal and freight
trains.
Two thousand employees in this city. of
the sixty thousand in the company's en-
ploy, have alone decided not go to extreme
measures, and their resolution is strongly
commended by the business com
munity. Many of the employees in this
city own their own houses, have been long
in the service of the company, and thev
do not care to sacrifice all these.
